Not sure how "trailing a safety harness" makes the action less"thrilling". Is the fact that he could get killed more exciting or thrilling than watching the skill of walking a tightrope over such a large expanse? I would think that he would have to compensate for the harness as well as the wind and the mist and that would add to the challenge. Heard that he is planning a crossing of the Grand Canyon next. He seems to be one of those who answer the question "why?' with "because it's there". BTW check out "Man on a WIre" if you like tight rope walking. That was very "exciting" in many ways for me.
